I remember them talking about that last year a lot. Just read about it a week or 2 ago as well.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the "too short" thing. Since all T's are now 6'5" and taller in the NFL, wouldnt it possibly be beneficial to a DE in the 34 to be shorter? After all they are just trying to tie up the blocker for passing D, and hold the point of attack for the run D, ultimately crashing down the line to the runner.

I would think being short in this instance, and strong, would be good. He would have leverage to get under the pads of the T and hold them up, especially when he has these freakishly long arms.
Height never hampered Curly Culp.
